In this interdisciplinary study of gender; cross-cultural encounters; and federal Indian policy; Margaret D. Jacobs explores the changing relationship between Anglo-American women and Pueblo Indians before and after the turn of the century. During the late nineteenth century; the Pueblos were often characterized by women reformers as barbaric and needing to be "uplifted" into civilization. By the 1920s; however; the Pueblos were widely admired by activist Anglo-American women; who challenged assimilation policies and worked hard to protect the Pueblos’ "traditional" way of life.
